Jean COCTEAU & Pablo PICASSO (Erik SATIE & Georges AURIC & Arthur HONEGGER & Guillaume APOLLINAIRE)
Invitation program for the piano concert given on 6 June 1917 by Erik Satie, Georges Auric, Louis Durey and Arthur Honegger
Lyre et Palette | Paris 1917 | 24 x 32.5 cm | one folded leaf
Rare first edition of the original invitation program for the very first concert of the future "Groupe des Six," given on 6 June 1917.
This exceptional document announces the first avant-garde concert produced in the workshop of the Swiss painter Emile Lejeune at number 6 on Rue Huyghens, in Montparnasse, with works by Erik Satie, Louis Durey, Georges Auric, and poems by Jean Cocteau and Guillaume Apollinaire. It was the first of a long series of memorable productions that would follow until 1920, sometimes presented under the title "Société Lyre et palettes," combining music, poetry readings and modern painting exhibitions (of Modigliani, Picasso, Matisse or even Kisling).
The musical pieces were performed by their young composers and Erik Satie himself, who had just celebrated success with Parade, composed with Jean Cocteau and Picasso. This concert gave Satie the idea of forming this group of composers and he called them "Les Nouveaux jeunes" - the beginnings of the future "Groupe des Six," formed in 1920 by the poet Jean Cocteau.
Small tears and signs of folding on the margins of the program, a missing segment at the top of the first board.
This four-part concert is comprised as follows: "Pièce en trio" by Georges Auric, Hélène Jourdan-Morhange and Félix Delgrange; "Carillons" by Louis Durey, Georges Auric and Juliette Meerovitch; "Parade" by Erik Satie, Juliette Meerovitch on a text by Jean Cocteau; Guillaume Apollinaire's Trois poèmes ("Saltimbanques", "Adieu" and "Les cloches") by Arthur Honegger, Rose Armandie and Andrée Vaurabourg.
The concert program is illustrated, on the facing page, with a side-on profile portrait of Jean Cocteau by Pablo Picasso, posing in Rome on Easter Sunday 1917.
